How I face the cold

Well, aside from a few tricks (Uniqlo HEATTECH undergarments which include leggings and long sleeve t-shirts under jumpers and always, always keeping your neck and head warm) I don't really have any more tricks up my sleeve. The reality is I choose to suffer in silence for the 5 min walk to the tube and 5 minute walk to work. I am not a winter person (I'm Italian after all) and I hate the look of socks; if I can help it I delay the use of tights for weeks and my theory is that as long as your torso is warm, you an survive a bare leg in short spells (shows).

My fashion icon- Jenna Lyons going sockless at NYFW

And here's a thought, have you often seen a celebrity on the red carpet (even at a January premiere) wearing tights? Not really, and that's because a bare leg is kind of timeless/season less and tights are a bit of a spoiler. However, as I am no celebrity and live in the real world you will always recognise my days spent at the desk (no socks) to the ones out and about (usually biker boots). There you go, myth dispelled and don't be surprised if you see me go tightless at the shows. Ridiculous? I agree, but I don't take myself too seriously anyway ;-)

About WIT

First of all, I'm a stylist and Wearing It Today is a challenge. Styling models for a shoot is one thing but trying to look good in every day life is quite another. I have to work a lot harder. WIT is a little peek into a stylist’s wardrobe. It's the answer to a whole lot of: "Where's that from?" It's me putting in the groundwork and testing out trends for everyday life. But it is also an opportunity to share brilliant finds, styling tips, and search out inspiration that you can make your own. There will be good, there will be bad and there may even be ugly... Take what you like, and leave the rest behind.

This Week's Style Tip

MY SUMMER BOX A summer box isn't just really useful (it prevents pre holiday panic buying and stops you missing out on pieces that are released super early) it's also my happy thought that keeps me going through winter. To see what's in mine this year (and Petro's too) head over to The ICONS Update here. Happy Shopping! X
